Since 0.1.0, BTQueue allows you to specify peer ID style such as BTQueue itself, Bram Cohen’s client, Azureus, and BitComet. This feature is added because some of my friends encountered difficulty to download from some trackers. These trackers do allow only some known clients such as Azureus because some clients work incorrectly. In order to change peer ID, simply modify policy.conf as follow.

peer_id = btq

There are 4 possible peer IDs such as btq, bt, az, and bc. Otherwise, you may run at the BTQueue prompt.

gset peer_id btq

Enjoy downloading!
